Catering boss: [''eyes Lester, suspiciously'']
Look. I'm not paying you to... ...do whatever it is you're doing out here.
Rick:
Fine. So don't pay me.
Catering boss:
Excuse me?
Rick:
I quit. So you don't have to pay me. Now, leave me alone.
Catering boss: [''Goes inside and Lester glances at Ricky, who shrugs'']
Asshole.
Lester: [''Pause'']
I think you just became my personal hero. Doesn't that make you nervous, just quitting your job like that? Well, I guess when you're all of, what? Sixteen?
Rick: [''Pause''; ''Carolyn opens door'']
Eighteen. I just do these gigs as a cover. I have other sources of income. But my dad interferes less in my life when I pretend to be an upstanding young citizen with a respectable job.
Carolyn: [''Lester quickly hides the joint behind his back'']
Lester? What are you doing?
Lester: [''laughs'']
Honey, this is... Ricky Fitts. This is Ricky Fitts.
Rick:
I'm Ricky Fitts, I just moved in the house next to you. I go to school with your daughter.
Lester:
With Jane? Really?
Rick:
Yeah. Jane.
Carolyn: [''To Lester''; ''Goes back inside'']
Hi. I'm ready to go. I'll meet you out front.
Lester: [''Going back inside'']
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble. Nice meeting you, Ricky Fitts. Thanks for the, uh, thing.
Rick:
Any time.
